About My Fair Weather Friend

Posted Under: advice

DEAR PRINCESS!

I had a girlfriend who I confided all my secrets to and she cut me off cold–without reason. We went from eating out on weekends and chatting everyday to zilch. I haven’t reached out to her because as far as I’m concerned I’ve done nothing wrong. I do miss her friendship. What should I do? - Friendless

DEAR FRIENDLESS

Unfortunately the only actions we can control are our own. On one hand, silence is no way to grow a friendship, but on the other hand your girlfriend could be going through any number of things; she could have gotten a not so favorable doctor’s report, a break up, or even lost her job–and the list goes on. As a friend you should at least reach out to her and show your concern–especially if the two of you have shared everything in the past. If in fact she has taken issue with something that you’ve said or done you can at least say, “I tried,” and maybe she’ll eventually share with you what she’s taken issue with so that you can learn from it and gain some much needed closure to the entire situation.

How Can I Start the Healing After a Fight?

Posted Under: advice

Princess Dominique:

Whenever I’ve gotten into an argument with my wife or girlfriend, I found myself being very soft spoken. Until of course a line is crossed and a magic word is said with the obvious intent to take the argument to another level. It’s almost like provoking for the sake of provoking. How does a man acknowledge anger besides doing it a non-judgmental fashion which can only help to diffuse the situation so that a rational conversation can begin. After all, it takes 2 to tango but it won’t work if only one of you is trying to reach a resolution to the matter. What can a guy do to talk to his lady so that the healing process can begin? - Anonymous

Dear Anonymous:

In happy times you need to create rules of how you will handle a disagreement, argument or falling out. The worse time to try to figure out how to handle it is “during” the altercation. Sit your partner down and come to an agreement of how thing will get resolved ie. never go to bed angry, designate 2 chairs that face each other as the resolution spot, allow a cooling off period, define the length of the cooling down period, does the cooling down period include leaving the house? Once you both agree to the terms, when you have a disagreement–do what you agreed on and move your love forward.

Exposing Old Skeletons

Posted Under: advice

How do you let an old skeleton out of your closet? I had a wild bachelorhood with my share of one-night stands, but there is one evening in particular that has stood out in the back of my mind. Granted, I wasn’t married at the time and I didn’t even know my wife then either, but it is something that I’d like to share with her once and for all. How is the buildup created to get the ball rolling and then hit her with what I’ve got to say? I know she’s not going to run out on me or anything like that, and it’s not disrespectful to her or any woman, but it was pretty… out there. What do I do next to get this off of my chest? - ANONYMOUS

DEAR ANONYMOUS

Her bachelorette days may not have been as wild as yours but I’m sure you don’t know everything either. If it won’t hinder or assist the relationship I’m not 100% certain why you feel the need to share it, especially if it has to do with another woman, however, wherever your favorite lay back and chat place is to talk, go there. Start reminiscing, not about “your” relationship, but general “back in the day” stuff. Throw on some 80s music. Slide it in there. You might be surprised that she’ll want to share something too.

I Faked an Orgasm

Posted Under: advice

PRINCESS!

I did it. I faked an orgasm. He asked me if I climaxed and I said yes on several occasions. The truth is that it wouldn’t have mattered because the relationship was never meant to be long term, however it has taken a turn for the better and now he wants to sit down and have a long talk in which he’s hoping we can be open and honest with each other. He broke up with his former long term girlfriend because she lied to him. Faking an orgasm is now coming back to haunt me. What should I do? - Very Very Remorseful

DEAR REMORSEFUL

The true remorse should be that you shortchanged your own pleasure to stroke his manhood (pardon the pun). That’s a no-no. Doing this means that you’ll have to keep putting your needs second to keep stroking him and that’s downright unforgivable. At this point, however, there is nothing that you can do about the fact that you lied except come clean–tell the truth–but only if asked. Although having told this lie is weighing heavy on your mind there is no guarantee that the question will even come up in “the long talk.” Play it cool and answer all of the other questions truthfully and express to him what he really means to you. My advice, in the future, don’t downplay yourself or your needs–ever! Be honest from here on out so that you don’t have any lies to cover up and most importantly so that during sex you can “get yours” too.

Comment on the message board folks, it’s getting lively.

An Antsy Stay At Home Mom

Posted Under: advice

PRINCESS!

I am a stay at home mom with a son and we decided that it was best for me to give up my career and take care of our child. However, there are times when I don’t feel fulfilled. What should I do? - Unfulfilled

DEAR UNFULFILLED

Giving up your career to raise a family isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The empowering thing is that you said “we” decided that it was best for you to give up your career and take care of the child. It seems that your husband is open to your input and that’s a plus because communication is the key to fostering lasting, healthy relationships. As for the lack of fulfillment it may be time to awaken a dormant hobby to keep yourself busy, and if that isn’t fulfilling enough you may want to join the legion of women who already own and operate various types of businesses that can be conducted solely from home. Many have low start up costs. If you don’t find that satisfying enough it may just be time to sit down with your hubby and reevaluate your initial stay at home decision. I’m hoping for the best for the both of you.
